What continent was visited first?

Question

was it north or south america?

Answer 1

He first landed in the Caribbeans, which are part of North America.  On his later trips he also went to South America.

Answer 2

But how about the Native Americans? They were here thousands of years before either Columbus or the Vikings.

Answer 3

actually, Columbus first landed in the Caribbean, but on his third voyage he reached south America in 1498, 15 years before Juan Ponce De Leon discovered north America and explored Florida. so it was south America. but if you want to get technical and count the viking's discovery of north america in the tenth century, that was way earlier, but if this is a school question they probably don't care about the vikings, so it would be south A.
